-3 + 2 = -1
-2 + 3 = 1
-3 + -2 = -5
-2 + -3 = -5
-5 - (-2) = -5 + 2 = -3
-2 - 3 = -2 + -3 = -5
Subtracting negative numbers is exactly the same as adding the positive number.
No- adding negative numbers is like adding positive numbesr , except the answer is negative.
Subtracting its additive inverse. (In principle, this is valid for adding positive numbers as well.)
Integers are whole numbers, both positive and negative. Therefore, adding and subtracting integers would be adding and subtracting whole numbers. Examples: 8+2 -8+2 8-2 -8-2
Subtracting a fraction is the same as adding its negative.

When subtracting negative numbers change the subtraction sign to a plus and change the second number (which would appear to be positive) to a negative. ex. -14 - 7=?/-14 + -7= -21 When adding negative numbers just add them as they appear. ex. -2 + -5= -7

Subtracting two positive fractional numbers, or adding one positive and one negative integer.
equivalent to subtracting a negative
Yes, subtracting is mathematically equivalent to adding the opposite. For example, subtracting a number ( b ) from another number ( a ) (written as ( a - b )) can be expressed as adding the negative of ( b ) to ( a ) (written as ( a + (-b) )). This relationship is a fundamental property of arithmetic that helps simplify calculations and understand the concept of negative numbers.
Adding two negative numbers will always be negative. Subtracting two negative numbers may be positive or negative. Dividing or multiplying two negative numbers will always be positive.No
When working with negative numbers, you typically start with the number that represents the value you are calculating. If you are adding or subtracting, you consider the signs of both numbers. For example, when adding a negative number, you effectively subtract its absolute value from the other number; when subtracting a negative number, you add its absolute value. Therefore, the process depends on the specific operation being performed.
